I'm having a problem backing up my rom on TWRP, I only have 1 GB of available space (4 GB max) and the backup is 4 Gb in size. I want to backup to my external SD card which has 12 GB of free space. But when I try to select a different storage, the SD won't show up.
All I see is internal (1 GB Free) and SD card (1 GB free). I see the same thing with two other SD cards I've tried.
The first card is a 32 GB UHS-l class 10, second is a 16 GB UHS-l class 10, and the third card is a 16 GB SDHC class 10 (Fat32)
Im not sure what format the first two cards are.
There's no hope for using a flash drive either, since there's no OTG support on Tab 4.
Help will be appreciated.
EDIT: Flashing the latest TWRP (2.8) via Odin did the trick. Now I can use my SD card for backup. I was on TWRP 2.7 before.
Update: Never mind, I uninstalled some apps I haven't used in a long time, then moved the apps off of my SD card and to Device Memory.
--------------------------
I have a 16 GB external SD Card, I have apps which I run off of the SD card. I want to move to a new 32 GB SD card I bought. I don't have enough space to move any of the apps on the external SD Card back to the internal memory. How can I switch to the 32 GB SD card. (I tried just copying everything on the 16 SD card to the 32 GB SD card. But that didn't work, the apps didn't run.
Is my only option to uninstall the apps on the External SD card, move copy all the (non-app) data to the 32GB SD card, and then reistall all the apps I removed and then move those to the external SD card?
What things are usually hogging all the internal memory? I wish I could free up space. I use ES3 and Drives to explore and manage files on my phone.
Would the apps I move off of the External SD Card be moved to External Storage (not System)?
External Storage: 8.76GB, Free 475MB
extSdDard: 13.7, Free 1.16GB
System: 2.21 GB, Free 488 MB
Ok, I am pulling my hair out. I only have about a gig of internal space left. I put in a few different SD cards... two are 32 GB and one is 64 GB. I can only move a few apps to the SD Card and then I get a message stating "Not enough storage space." I know I'm not out of space. I only moved a few apps. I check anyways. Still shows there's over 30 GB of the 32 GB card free. I've swapped out the card. I have 3 of them. All are doing the same thing. I just went to the extreme earlier. I rooted the tab A (It wasn't rooted earlier today and I've been having this problem for 2 days.) I then tried to use link2sd and same exact problem. I have the 2 partitions. Both are fat32. One is 31 GB and second is 1 GB. I'll link a few apps over. Then I'll get the same error. "Not enough storage space." Well, apps2sd gives a slightly different error... "Unable to copy Data. No space left on destination." Opening a drive free space app, it shows I have 28.57 GB of 28.69 GB free.
Why are you partitioning the sdcard with 2 FAT32 partitions, in particular 1gb?
When usink link2sd You should be using exFAT for the second partition and the first should be ext 2,3 or 4. Recommended ext2.
I'm also confused how you can possibly have a 31gb and 1gb partition on a 32gb sd card that will only yield 29gb at best.
Rather than link2sd maybe you should consider adoptable storage.
Anyone know how to make an external SD card as the default storage? The storage of the stylo 3 is only 16 gb and is not nearly enough nowadays...
I have an old Lexar microSDXC 633x UHS-I 128GB (previously used in 5 other Android devices)
I opted as internal storage.
It shows up as 256GB and free space calculations are cuz of that messed up.
External Apps can either see the onboard or the internal memory (not both)
Should I be worried? (Or how I can test its all working good?)
Can you try formatting it once from inside the phone and not the computer? Be sure to take a backup first

Not sure it would make a difference.
I already did that. It would not let you use it as Internal Storage if I did not Format it first.
And you cant take a backup of internal SD. IIRC it will not be usable and apps that had data there will be also corrupted.
A couple of options. 1st is to try a cleaner like ccleaner and see if that sorts it by cleaning the cache, last resort is a factory reset which has worked before now. The other thing is that it could be either a fake card (possibly) and/or damaged but the last is highly unlikely.

Tried ccleaner. Factory reset I will try only if I see any issues.
And ehm... no ... the card that I bought in a normal shop and used for many years (as I said) is not fake or damaged.
Antutu reports all correctly, so this lets me to believe its just Xiaomi or Oreo issue.

Hmm weird that it is showing 256gb as the phone specs only allow up to 128gb. My guess is the card itself as I have a 32gb in mine and it shows up fine.

Man, I'm having this exact problem but with a 128GB Sony UHS-1.
This should be a bug in Oreo.
I have the same "issue" with a brand new 64 GB Samsung SD card. And: before updating to Oreo, the storage capacity was shown correctly. So this seems to be a bug in Oreo. However, I don't find any other comments on this on the Internet, so it's probably limited to the Mi A1?

On the same Oreo version I had no problem with 64 GB Samsung Evo plus but found bug with same type 32 GB card. Not native apps shows correct size but Android says that it's half of memory occupared by system files
My wife's A1 has a problem with SD card. It doesn't format either as storage or as internal memory. It's a original Sandisk 64Gb UHS-I. She used it in her former Moto X Style and I formatted in a LG Pad 8.3 without problems. I took a crap SD Card and it formatted as storage without problem in A1.
I am experiencing the same problem, this is still an issue. If anyone has an idea for a fix, please let us know.
Yes, same problem with a genuine Samsung EVO Plus 64GB SDXC card. Shows up as 128GB card with 64GB used when formatted as internal system storage, but as a 64GB card when formatted as "removable" storage. So it's a phone-specific bug in some way.
Same here, my phone is 32gb, installed a 32gb sd card and format as internal, now its show total 96gb and the card is 64gb with more than 32gb used.
I think it add internal onto sd card and show that 32gb is already use, which mean its show 64gb sdcard but actually we get same useable amount.
Btw its still show correct available free space so its not a problem.
Hello ! same thing here with a samsung galaxy s5 sm-g900f on resurrection remix oreo 8.1 with four differents card : size 16 gB on esxternal memory , 32 GB on internal memory and also for 128GB it goes to 256GB on internal memory
just want to try with android 6.0.1 with the patch which unlock this feature https://forum.xda-developers.com/samsung-a-series/general/patch-adoptable-storage-enabler-t3470648 and its not good either. i can see the right size of the phone 16GB , the right size of sd card 119 GB but the sum above show: 256GB
I do have the same problem with my LG G6 and Samsung Evo Plus 128GB memory card.
If any workaround, please post.
But it doesn't affect the functionality, it works as intended. But when I see the storage in settings showing odd numbers.

I have the exact same problem. Same SD card. Although everything seems to work okay. Btw. I am on Android Pie.
In Solid Explorer the internalstorage isn't even shown. Only the SD card. Unlogical since the SD should expand the internal storage.
Imho a major f*ck up.
How can you trust your phone if the storage info is unreliable. ?
I have the same problem. I think it's a bug. See here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ra...al-storage-t3782347/post79349711#post79349711
Hi,
Any news about this bug ? I have the same on LineageOS 16.0.
Thanks
